What happened
The Ministry of Transportation in Indonesia raised the maximum fuel surcharge for domestic economy-class flights to 40 percent, increasing it from 30 percent the previous month. This adjustment is expected to increase average ticket prices by roughly 8 percent. The government is also introducing a 'bundling' strategy that combines airfare with accommodation and local tour packages to offer competitive rates.

Why it matters
The policy responds to rising jet fuel prices, which are pushing airfares higher, and aims to mitigate high travel costs across Indonesia. Previously, the government had rolled out tax relief to fully subsidize value-added tax on domestic economy flight tickets.
